Orange County, CA (December 1, 2011) - Rebecca's House has partnered with Lifetime for the new series Starving Secrets With Tracey Gold, which aims to show a national audience the realities of eating disorders and their treatment, while helping women in need. The first episode was filmed at Rebecca's House last February and March and highlights the team working with a client to overcome her battles with an array of eating disorders including anorexia and bulimia. The episode is a real look into the ups and downs of eating disorder treatment.

"Many people don't understand how dangerous eating disorders are," Founder Rebecca Cooper stated. "People make jokes about weight and body shape all of the time, but eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any known mental illness. We hope to provide education and awareness to gain support and save lives.

Current statistics show that only one in ten people with eating disorders receive treatment. With eating disorders on the rise and the economy still on the decline, this statistic is expected to worsen in coming months. "Destabilization can be highly triggering to those struggling with eating disorders, often mirroring feelings of fragmentation and chaos in their internal world," Program Director, Dr. Christopher Jones states. "Our clients come to us bereft, having focused their attention so long on external solutions. In our clinical work, we refocus clients toward the locus of their recovery: their inner experience."
